'''Northshire Abbey''' is the home of the [[human]] religious order of clerics known as the [[Brotherhood of Northshire]]. It is located in [[Northshire Valley]] in the foothills of [[Elwynn Forest]] of the [[Kingdom of Stormwind]]. The closest town to Northshire Abbey is [[Goldshire]] to the southwest.
 
 
Northshire Abbey is comprised of three sections, named the [[Main Hall (Northshire)|Main Hall]], [[Hall of Arms (Northshire)|Hall of Arms]], and [[Library Wing (Northshire)|Library Wing]]. It holds trainers for [[mage]]s, [[priest]]s, [[warrior]]s, and [[paladin]]s, as well a couple of quest givers. The trainers for young human [[warlock]]s haunt the small graveyard to the east of the main doors. In the shadows of the stable one can find the [[rogue]] trainer.
 
 
==History==
 
Prior to the [[First War]], the abbey served as the home of the [[Holy Order of Northshire Clerics]]. It was the location where [[Medivh]] was cared for during the years he was in coma. During the course of the [[First War]], the [[Clerics of Northshire]], led by [[Archbishop]] [[Alonsus Faol]], aided the armies of Stormwind in their fight against the [[History of the Horde|Horde]].
 
 
Shortly after [[Garona Halforcen]] was captured and brought to Northshire to be held as a prisoner, the abbey was destroyed in an [[orc]]ish [[Northshire Abbey (WC1 Orc)|onslaught]]. In the Human campaign of Warcraft I, it is a band of human warriors, that have been convinced by enemy agents to fight against the crown, who are the ones to initially attack Northshire Abbey. The abbey is shown as having some underground side tunnels. These were used as prisons for some orcs (some orcs were held in nicer looking rooms) and a few [[ogres]]. The ogres would attack the orcs if seen, yet somehow were not hostile to the humans. Also found in the tunnels were [[spiders]], [[scorpion]]s, [[slime]]s, and [[skeletons]] which roamed the area. None of them were {{reputation|hostile}} to the humans. [[Archers]] and [[brigand]]s defended the abbey against the orcs. Also, Garona was in a room with a [[fire elemental]] who, after a certain amount of time, went crazy and broke out of Garona's prison to attack the orcs. It is not known who brought forth this elemental, as usually they are creatures who serve no other.
 
 
During the [[Second War]], the site of the abbey was the headquarters of [[Cho'Gall]]'s [[Twilight's Hammer clan]], allied to [[Gul'dan]]. After the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]] reclaimed [[Elwynn Forest]], Northshire Abbey was rebuilt, though the area has been suffering a [[kobold]] infestation, increasing numbers of [[Wolf | wolves]] and the growing presence of bandits known as the [[Defias]].

== Primary security threats ==
 
=== Defias Brotherhood ===
 
The [[Defias Brotherhood]] have set up a base of operations within the [[Northshire Vineyards]] to the east of Northshire Abbey, led by [[Garrick Padfoot]], forcing the local workers, including [[Milly Osworth]], out of the vineyard. The brotherhood uses the base as a staging ground for raids on the local farmers and merchants.
 
 
=== Kobolds ===
 
A clan of [[kobolds]] have infested [[Echo Ridge Mine]] to the northwest of Northshire Abbey, forcing the workers out of the mine. Although the kobolds don't pose a significant threat to Northshire Abbey, their foothold in [[Northshire]] will only grow stronger if they are left to themselves.
 
 
=== Wolves ===
 
A large number of wolves have appeared in the valley, presumably searching for new prey after being driven from [[Duskwood]] out of fear. Although they rarely hunt human prey, there have been incidents with farmers and missing livestock.
 
 
=== Horde ===
 
While deep within Alliance territory and strongly fortified, the occupants of Northshire Abbey are always concerned with the potential threat of another [[Horde]] attack on their lands.
 
 
== Notes ==
 
*In the maps for ''Lands of Conflict'' and ''World of Warcraft'', Northshire Abbey is shown as "Northsire Abbey".
